Thus far the reader has followed in brief fashion the fortunes of those who went to the front, those who smelled the powder, faced the bullets, endured the discomforts and the dangers of camp, march and battle. All through the Civil War, however, Akron and Summit County had a full share of heroes and heroines who worked, not on the firing line, but right here at home. The departure of so many men from this eity and surround- ing territory left hundreds of families to be provided for. And the boys at the front must have comforts and necessities, and money and hospital supplies. Patriotie eiti- zens, unable to enlist themselves, gave for- tune after fortune to the cause. In the later days of the war there were the drafts to en- conrage. And all through the great struggle Akron women prayed and worked, and their toil and their unceasing interest gave many a dying soldier a moment of comfort and made many a foreed march endurable. The women of Akron did their full share toward the preservation of the Union.

MILITIA ORGANIZATIONS.

After the Civil War there was a natural re- turn to the pursuits of peace. Akron's ceme- teries contained numerous green, yet grim, re- minders of the thing that had been. There were aching hearts in numberless homes, yet time applied its healing lotion, and the deeper wounds in human hearts were eventually healed, so far as such wounds may be. For a full generation there was peace. The militia man was the only reminder of war to be met with frequently in the flesh.

Under the militia law passed by the legis- lature in 1870, interest in citizen soldiery, which had lagged considerably after the war. was revived. In 1875 the "Porter Zouaves" were organized, under command of Henry Porter, a veteran soldier. Shortly afterward the organization changed its name to "Bierce

HISTORY OF SUMMIT COUNTY

Cadets," in honor of the late General Lucius V. Bierce, who had backed the organization financially. M. W. Santry was the first cap- tain under the reorganization.

In the same year the "Akron City Guards" were organized, many of the members being veterans. D. W. Thomas was the first cap- tain and the official membership was thirty- seven. A new election was held January 3, 1876, D. W. Thomas being re-elected.

These two organizations saw some strike and riot service within a reasonably short time. Both companies were included in the Ninth Regiment, when organized in 1877, and the first regimental encampment was held in Akron in October, 1877. Captain Thomas of the City Guards was the regi- ment's first colonel.

In 1878 the Ninth was merged into the Eighth Regiment, and the City Guards, which had become Company .\ of the Ninth, now be- came Company B of the Eighth. Company B continues till this day. Colonel Thomas took' command of the regiment by reason of his rank, being succeeded by Colonel A. L. Conger. and then by George R. Gyger, of Al- liance, in 1891. The regiment was fre- quently called upon for strike duty, riot duty and annual eneampments, until 1898, when a war cloud again appeared above the horizon and the stirring scenes of 1861 were, in a measure, repeated.

Akron was also represented in the artil- lery branch of the Ohio militia for many years. The Sixth Battery, O. N. G., was formed in 1877. Joseph C. Ewart was the first captain. The organization thrived from the beginning. In 1886 a regiment of Ohio artillery was formed. and the Sixth Battery became Battery F. First Regiment, O. N. G .. retaining that designation until the out- break of the Spanish-American war. This organization was called upon for important services and invariably acquitted itself in sol- dierly fashion.

Unique in Akron's citizen army was "Com- pany Buehtel." composed of veterans of the German army, who organized in Akron in 1883, with a membership of twenty-five. Its

first captain was Paul E. Werner. The com- pany retained its identity for a number of years. It was named after the late John R. Buchtel, who assisted the organization finan- cially at the beginning.

SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.

War with Spain was declared April 21, 1898. There was little fighting; peace re- turned after a few months, so far as the Cuban campaign was concerned, yet it was a deadly . campaign. When President Mckinley called for volunteers, Akron boys responded as promptly and as patriotically as many of their fathers had done in 1861. The two local mili- tary organizations, Company B of the Eighth Infantry, O. N. G., Captain H. O. Feederle, commanding, and Battery F. First Regiment Light Artillery, O. N. G., volunteered as one man. The infantrymen were accepted. The artillerymen were not taken on the first call. There was a special reason for the acceptance of the one organization over the other. The home of President MeKinley was in Canton, and that city was represented by three compa- nies, F, L and I, in the Eighth Regiment. It was a matter of considerable gratification to the President that the boys from his home and regiment of which they were members (including Akron and Company B) should be among the first to respond to his call for troops. He demonstrated his appreciation of that promptness by accepting the proffered services immediately. Moreover, the Eighth was at that time considered one of the most compaet and best drilled bodies of citizen troops in Ohio.

The regiment, consisting of twelve compa- nies, was mobilized at Akron, April 26, 1898, and then embarked for Columbus, where it was drilled thoroughly and on May 13th was mustered into the volunteer service of the United States as Company B, Eighth O. V. I. Colonel C. V. Hard, of Wooster, was in com- mand of the regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Dick, of Akron, since commander-in- chief of the Ohio guard, being second to Col- onel Hard under that organization. Company

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS

B was a part of the Third Battalion, com- manded by Major C. C. Weybrecht, of Al- liance. On May 16th the Eighth proceeded to Camp Alger, near Falls Church, Virginia, and was assigned to the Second Brigade, First Division, Second Army Corps, under Briga- dier-General George .1. Garretson, of Cleve- land. Here, under the sun of Virginia, the regiment was prepared for service in the trop- ics, attracting much attention from visitors from Washington by reason of its designa- tion as "The President's Own," and the fact that two nephews of President Mckinley were enlisted in Canton companies.

On July 4 the Eighth was ordered to Cuba to re-enforce General Shafter before Santiago. A quick run was made from Camp Alger to New York and on the evening of July 6 the regiment, on board of the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul (Capt. Sigsbee), steamed out of New York harbor, bound for Cuba. Five days later they arrived off Santiago, and were landed in small boats at Siboney. One bat- talion was landed that night and the re- mainder the next day. One hundred rounds of ammunition and three days' rations were issued, and the march inland began.

On July 13 the Third Battalion, including Company B, was detached from the remainder of the regiment for special guard duty and did not rejoin the main body until the time came for departure for the United States. The surrender of Santiago came almost simul- taneously with this detail, and the long wait and the battle with sickness began. ending in the embarkation of the regiment at Santiago, August 18. The Eighth was taken to Mon- tauk Point, Long Island, whence, after a rest, the health of the men being extremely bad. the various companies returned home Septem- ber 6. After sixty days' furlough, the Eighth was mustered out at Wooster, Ohio, November 10. The regiment lost seventy-two men by death between the muster in and the muster out, yet did not fire a single shot. Company B's death roll during that time numbered eight.

Shortly after the muster out, the company

was reorganized as a militia company, and continues as such today. Its present officers are : Captain, William E. Walkup; first lieu- tenant, Royal A. Walkup: second lieutenant, Austin B. Hanscom. The Eighth Regiment Band, composed mostly of Akron musicians, accompanied the Eighth Regiment on the expedition to Cuba.

Though Battery F's offer of its services came just too late to be available under Presi- dent McKinley's first call for volunteers, that organization was later mustered into the serv- ice of the United States and did its part faithfully and well in the War with Spain.

The Tenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was formed of the militia organization remaining after Ohio's quota of the first call troops had been filled. It contained naval militia, light artillery, engineers and infantry, all or- ganized as infantry for the purposes of the campaign. The regiment was formed in re- sponse to President Mckinley's second call for volunteers, Battery F repeating its offer and cheerfully giving up its heavy guns and shouldering Springfield rifles in compliance with the conditions governing acceptance. The organization retained its letter, becoming Company F. Mobilization was at Camp Bushnell, Columbus, June 25th. the com- pany being mustered into the United States service July 7th, with the following officers: Captain, Herman Werner; first lieutenant, John M. Straub; second lieutenant, J. P. Caldwell (afterwards transferred to signal service) ; second lieutenant, Ora F. Wise. Uniforms were issued to the regiment on July 13th. On August 18th the regiment was or- dered to Camp Meade, Middletown, Pennsyl- vania, where it became a part of the Second Brigade, Third Division, Second Army Corps, under command of General Graham. Here the Tenth remained until November 12th, when it was ordered to AAugusta, Georgia. At this place "Camp Young" had been estab- lished, this name being afterward changed to "('amp Mackenzie." The Tenth remained at Camp Mackenzie until March 23rd, when it was mustered out.

HISTORY OF SUMMIT COUNTY

The members of Company F returned to Akron and about two weeks later as a com- pany became a part of the Eighth Regiment, O. N. G., of which regiment Company F still forms a part, its present commanding offieer being Captain William F. Yontz. Six mem-

bers of the company died of disease during the service in 1898.

Akron sent her full share of soldiers to the Philippines, both in 1898 and later; many are still in that serviee; others have returned home and taken up the pursuits of peace.

CHAPTER XVII

FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS

As the reader runs through the long list of secret societies, and other bodies of men and women united for a common cause. which have existed and prospered in Summit Coun- ty, almost from its very earliest time, he can- not fail to be impressed with the truth that the spirit of brotherhood has, indeed, been very strong in this community. Today, there are many lodges whose membership rises as high as 400 and 500. Two fraternities with national plans, The Pathfinders and The Chevaliers, had their origin here. There is not a single fraternity of any prominence whatsoever that is not represented in Sum- mit County. In addition, there are innum- erable non-secret organizations for every con- ceivable purpose. The last ten years have been remarkable for the growth of the club idea among the women of the county. The women's clubs of Akron are an important factor in the daily life of that city. Nearly every church has its men's chib or its boys' brigade and other associations of its members. Many workingmen are members of trades unions. The farmers have organized granges, horticultural societies and neighborhood clubs. The Summit County citizen who has not "joined" something is, indeed, a rarity.

MASONS.

The first lodge of any secret society to be formed within the county was Akron Lodge, No. 83. of the Free and Accepted Masons. Its charter was granted October 21, 1841. Its first master of the lodge was Hon. R. P. Spaulding. He was sueeeeded in 1842 by Gen. L. V. Bierce who held the office until 1850. Dr. S. W. Bartges then assumed the

chair for four years. Other distinguished masters of this lodge were C. A. Collins, Dr. Thomas MeEbright, Hon. S. C. Williamson, R. P. Marvin, B. F. Battles and A. P. Bald- win.
